Chupetinho / Biquinho

[b3rnd]

Hey there,
 
I always thought the Chupetinho and Biquinho peppers were one and the same. But now I saw that the Hippy Seed Company has them listed as separate peppers?
 
What's the difference?

Heat level I think.
One hot, one not

Interesting. You don't know which one is hot and which one isn't, by any chance?

Chupetinho is quite hot ,  50-150 000 scovilles , my opion .
Great small firm chinense , that is good for sauces and pickling.
Prolific producer as well .

google says Biquinho's are 500-1000

you could mix up a russian-roulette pickle mix, mostly biquinho's and some chup's for fun!
do you pickle them whole? or need to cut them open?
sweet pickle or sour?

I'm from Brazil and ALL biquinho peppers we have here has 0 heat. absolutely no heat at all.

Thanks for the answers people! Seems there's still some debate about the subject. I'll just have to grow them both and confirm for myself I guess

Sweet pickle mostly whole with stalks off.
